BRACKENRIDGE, Pa. — Authorities say a man accused of shooting and killing a police officer and wounding another during an incident Sunday was shot and killed by Pittsburgh police Monday night.

The suspect, Aaron Lamont Swan, 28, was confronted around 7 p.m. near the intersection of Brushton Avenue and Mohler Street, Allegheny County Police Superintendent Christopher Kearns told WTAE in a briefing Monday evening.

State Attorney General Josh Shapiro, the governor-elect, identified the slain officer in a tweet as Brackenridge Police Chief Justin McIntire.

“Today’s tragedy in Brackenridge is a devastating reminder of the bravery of those who put their lives on the line every day to protect us," Shapiro said in the tweet. ”Police Chief Justin McIntire ran towards danger to keep Pennsylvanians safe — and he made the ultimate sacrifice in service to community."

The shootings happened in separate incidents just blocks apart in Brackenridge, an Allegheny County town northeast of Pittsburgh. The gunman carjacked a vehicle after the shootings Sunday afternoon and was considered “extremely dangerous,” assistant police Superintendent Victor Joseph told WTAE-TV.

Police spokesman Christopher Kearns told reporters that Swan had been sought for a parole violation involving a weapons charge.

Brackenridge police didn't immediately release the officers' identities. The slain officer was shot in the head, said police spokesman Christopher Kearns. The second officer was wounded in the leg and was expected to survive, he said.
